I've been completely vegan for two weeks. Very excited. And I am feeling less bloated and my mind is more clear. Who knew giving up dairy, gluten and corn could do so much.

Thank you everybody for your suggestions. Lets of good ideas. On Tuesday I bought a lot of produce, but kind of randomly because I hadn't planned to make anything in particular.

His point was that when we start paying attention to what we are eating, it tends to lead to changes. I entered an instant oatmeal today and was shocked when I saw how much sugar was in it, so I am going to make my next oatmeal myself and add raisins instead of sugar. Cutting the 14g of sugar, will help my weight loss.

No. He hasn't but I will do some research for myself and let you know.
